About this opportunity

The Department of Transportation Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation is procuring hydraulic pipe replacement services at the Eisenhower Lock in Massena, New York through solicitation 6923G525Q0638. The contractor will provide services to replace corroded stainless-steel hydraulic piping at the Vertical Lift Gate, including fabrication and installation of new 304 seamless stainless steel piping with specific Code 61 type fittings, comprehensive testing, and system commissioning. The procurement follows a firm fixed-price contract structure under FAR Parts 12 and 13, with contractors required to maintain active SAM.gov registration and demonstrate technical capability for plumbing, heating, and air conditioning work under NAICS code 238220. The government will use Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria, considering technical capability, past performance, and pricing. Critical dates included a site visit on August 26, 2025, questions due by August 28, 2025, and the quote submission deadline of September 9, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST, though the solicitation has been cancelled and may be reposted at a future date.

The solicitation originally began as a Total Small Business Set Aside with a $19.0 million size standard but was subsequently amended to an unrestricted basis before ultimately being cancelled. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the documentation, though the small business size standard of $19.0 million provides context for the potential contract scale. The performance timeline requires work to begin within 10 calendar days of notice to proceed and completion within 60 calendar days, with the project specifically scheduled around the lock's annual winter shutdown period from January 12, 2026 to March 13, 2026. Contractors would have been allowed early site access beginning December 2, 2025 to verify existing conditions and document as-built dimensions prior to system isolation. The work location is at 190A Barnhart Island Road, Massena, New York 13662, within the Eisenhower Lock facility, requiring specialized work in confined spaces beneath removable covers weighing up to 7,800 pounds.
